CANNONBALLS OF FIRE:
{saualpite and Mehr get closer }
Jewel sent Ciprian to the Hikawa Shrine to be of some help to her family since Dr. Saeko Mizuno wanted him to rest his mending throat. Any form of speech would only hinger the healing process he was already going through with help. The organic mixture of Olive oil, honey, and lemon he been force to drink three times a day with everyone of his meals. Went with this Japanese Herbal Throat Candy he sucked on a few times when he wasn't also drinking a watebottle of peppermint tea. Led to him needing to bathroom to empty a full bladder that left him wishing his never damage his throat. He was glad the ugly hand print of wedded finger prints were completely removed by Sailor Funna's phantom.
Trying to find something to do between helping with chores that relate to the shrine and Hino household were few and far between. Saualpite had pretty gotten everything that needed to be done with Reika at after school activites. Jadeite and Rei were away fulifuling their duties as gaurdians to the king and queen with little time. Great- great- grandfather Hino being as hyper as he ever was around his great- grandchildren was a little help. Mehr had ot be shown what to do when he offered to help around the household or shrine when their wasn't anybody else. Left the person that was currently looking over thre future careers print out he was told to fill out and return. His brother once more knew what to write done in the three slots about their future careers without moments thought.
"Not running to the bathroom?" How Mehr starting greeting Ciprian.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Ciprian looked away from him. "It was your sister that did this to my voice."
"She's always been the sort to play with her food before eating." Mehr came to join him.
"Meeting?" Ciprian got chills.
Explaining the process a mermaid's eating habits was hard for Mehr since this run-a-way of a sister was always a stranger one. He took a seat not liking how he had to describe the telepathic song to get them to lower their guard. When she got close enough to them, she internally uses a minor pyrokinetic ability to heat the insides of their bodies. When they cooked either she either uses a long thin snake-like tongue to go down the throat of her victim, taking the cooked organ. Second was draining bodily fluids right from the body until mummified corpse was left. Involved same process with the tongue, but she attached the end to the center of the person's chest and sucked.
"It's rare when she actually becomes hands on to kill someone." Mehr didn't understand she went after Ciprian.
"Thanks." Ciprian rolled his eyes.
On cue into room Aegirine's little feet heading toward where they were with swooshing sounds of a pitcher of tea being carried. This had Ciprian wishing that Reika was the one delivering the tea in the waitress outfit she wears working at Opal Moon. Pin stripped apron worn over a mini- skirt style dress with short sleeves and matching frilly headband. Those matching flats that barely had one inch heel on them that all came in a red coloring always left him in mush. Just ended up being killed with a snot nosed prat with tuffs of black hair and rich green eyes appeared before him. Within his little arms was a transparent pitcher filled Olive oil, honey, and lemon blend with a white cap. Ended up being taken by Maehr who would end up asking where his father was and why he wasn't delivering this.
"Chichi-Oya is changing in order to sale out talismans," Aegirine spoke it was time to open shrine small shop. "Said I could help with our guest."
"Such a grown thing to do," Mehr rose from his seat. "Do that while I go help your Chichi-Oya."
"Ok." Aegirine went the pitcher down.
Ciprian ended up staying quiet long enough to watch Mehr pick him self up from the sitting cushion he had been on. Straightening out creases in his clothes and combing his one of his hands through his hair as he stepped a way from the Kotatsu. Not even asking how he looked since Aegirine was to young to care about his appearance and Ciprian wasn't caring. Who was out of the room before pitcher was grasped by it handle and tipped over to refill a empty glass.
"Mr. Mehr seems to like your Chichi-Oya," Ciprian's comment had Aegirine looking at him. "Would you like a fish man as your new daddy?"
"..." Aegirine just blinked at him.
"Forgot your to young to understand what I am saying." Ciprian sat the pitcher back down.
Aegirine ended up changing the subject all together of his father opening up to the yet another love interest by pulling a surprise. He ended up showing here his grandmother and great-great-grandfather hide the television remote. Put a smile on Ciprian's face since staring at a blank screen the whole time he was sitting with Mehr was getting boring. Got him to promise Aegirine he buy whatever sweet he wanted next time he ever went out with his aunt. Got a smile out of the kid before the screen went on sand distracted the two from what was happening to other occupants. Being Saualpite stood in the middle of a bed room in middle of changing out of his civilian clothing. Just the Mehr slamming open the door the bed room and stepping through without even knocking or announcing himself. Allowing the door to close behind him as he stopped in place a few feet a way from behind where Saualpite stood.
"Hmmm..." Mehr reached out with a single finger.
He made sure to barely place the skin of his finger's tip not even inch away from the natural bend of Saualpite's back. Touching the fabric of is white kosode that hadn't been properly tighten or adjusted with the blue hakama; in which Saualpite struggled. Some how the closeness of their bodies gave up small amount of warmth that took attention.
"Here to help or seduce me?" Saualpite backed away from Mehr's finger. "Not like first first attempts worked."
"When one presents their intended with a fish or seafood," Mehr explained to him. "Its tells them he or she wants to be their mate."
"When I found you in a under dressed state and la out in such a state?" Saualpite asked stepping backwards.
Before Mehr was a ware of what was going on when Saualpite looked like he was approaching him without hesitating. Was taken by surprise when pulled downward toward a pair of lips that didn't allow to take in air or further breath. Light pressure that was taken when one their head's ended being tilted for a better angle. His eyes went wide when he felt his bottom lip get taken in between his front teeth, gentlyget tug, and letting go. Turned into a tip of a tongue gently and slowly tracing the bite mark left on his bottom lip. Led to Mehr pulling a way with string of his saliva hanging from his lips.
"That is get you to behave." Saualpite stepped a way from him. "Behave and help me out."
Without a moment's pause Mehr did what was asked of him by helping adjust a blue hakama and white kosode. He hands working over what needed to be tucked and tied without lingering. Finishing in record before taking a minute or two to embrace Saualpite from behind.
"I wish to have been the first one you fell for and fathered Aegirine," Mehr mumbled. "Knowing someone broke your heart enrages me."
"It's yours now." Saualpite pats one Mehr's arms.
"..one more second..." Mehr pleas now ready to let go.
Saualpite sighed and gave the merman one more second before pulling a way and reaching for a hair tie. Be ignored by Mehr, who ended up using a piece of old material to bind other's hair. Didn't take long for both since Mehr pulled a way when done with the task.
"Woven from the whiskers a catfish from a my world," Mehr explained the ribbon. "One of few things a caught and gutted my self before coming here."
"...does senshi of your world know your here?" Question about sailor Mermaid came up.
"Mr. X and Miss. Frigoris had met with her personal to assure her something wouldn't go wrong." Mehr was already imagining the repercussions of his rouge sister's actions.
Comfort came in the form of a pat on his shoulder and words that assured him he had done nothing wrong. Put a half smile on his face since watching after his sisters had been his responsibility. One he deeply thought he failed even after he been attacked by his rouge sister.
"Keep an eye on Aegirine and you know where to find me," Mehr was told by Saualpite was here for him. "Ok?"
"...ok..." Mehr wore a small smile.
Out of Saualpite's bedroom they walked where they split apart feet a long walk down the hallway. Ciprian was already on his feet after call from Reika informing him she was on her way home. Aegirine's eyes were glued to the television with the remote in his reach. Worried Mehr since the kid just staring at screen without saying or looking at everyone.

Reika was just glad to be back home after tending a pointless meeting about funding and where to go for their school field trip. She wasn't in the mood then to take about how they could money during the school's next festival. Now did she care about talking about where in Japan they should go. Her life was already one full of enough excitement and adventure. Walking those last few steps to her home to see the faces of her brother, their house guests, and Ciprian.
What came into her field of vision was her brother and Ciprian working the shrine with handful of visitors. One was selling the talismans to interested parties as other was giving good fortune blessings. The moment she took to look at her brother in shrine attire was amusing. Had her pulling out her phone to take a full picture and send to Mina.
"I always heard this shrine had a reputation of hams some men," Amused female voice made Reika jump. "First a blond haired man, then one with sandy brown tresses, and this one...yummm.."
"My dad is more of a plain, Uncle Chad is more of a unlucky fellow, and my brother is just a stick in the mud." Reika spoke ill of all the males in her life.
"Their has to be some special guy in your life..." This voice sounded interested.
Her nephew and Ciprian came to her mind as their names got stuck in her throat upon realizeing who she been talking too. Slowly she turned to come face to face with womanlike features of a nose from slim nose and plush lips of a slender face. Almost curly lockes that had a straightness in the beginning that ended with slight ringlets at the ends. Unnatural way the eyes looked like they were transplanted from that of a huge fish with immovable in Teleosts and very slowly movable in Elasmobranchs. Scared her since she tried to not to get to close when trying to make out the color. Choosing to stand her ground with both her hands tightly gripping her handle of her bag and face forward. Keeping her posture uninterrupted when he eyes had taken in the sight of Waviren dressed rather differently. Her choice in clothes has more of a conservative appeal then the usual skimpy outfits that showed off her body in unpleasant way.
Was all that change the mood since she was now a few inches from this Waviren as she felt like moran for not noticing. What bothered Reika was how close this Waviren was able to get close to her and get her to speak about her male relatives. Now scared her to such a point that fear of harm coming to her father, uncle, or brother. Which she hid under the mask she currently pulled on when she finally looked at who engage her.
"I never got your name." Reika was the first to speak in manner of factually order.
"Name given to me at birth was Vai," She spoke disgustingly. "I renamed myself îara."
Their conversation was cut short when a voice within her mind told her how she needed to sleep for a few minutes. Off her feet Reika fell onto the ground side wards with her bag falling out of her hands and landing near by. Images of her being a kept women to wealthy men that could afford her company formed within her mind. Whispers about she could use her beauty to charm these men into doing what she wanted, or desired. Only reminded her of a story her mother once told her about being lost in a house of illusions. How she was confronted with the same predicament that she ended up banishing illusion's caster. Acting partially in cracking the telepathic hold her mind was stuck since she was allowed to hear voices.
One of them belonging to distressed Ciprian praying to shard of Sailor Funna for some type of aid in waking Reika. Was answered when already forming crack was worsen by a warm sensation ine felt when embraced by parental figure. Just form that Reika made out a women in a purple- pink fuku stepped from beyond the crack. Illusions ended up shattering behind this women as she sent her vines out to gather these shards. End up being pulled into source of the vines that Reika never got to see when told how she was a perfect fit. Last image she had was of Sailor Funna lifting one of her hands as her fingers got ready to snap.
"Miko, under the guardianship of the 'Fire Planet'," Sailor Funna addressed Reika. "Assist my knight fiur until his star seed shines while you also allow him to defend you."
"Wait!" Reika weakly spoke.
Sound of a snap is what made Reika wake up to sight of knight fiur standing before he using one of his cards to shield her. She guessed looked like a half a glowing sphere came in the brightest colors of yellow, red, and orange with blazing ring.
"What's with the miniature Sun?" She came to ask getting to her feet.
"One of my few protective spell called Prideful Flare, "knight fiur answered her. "You ok?"
"Have this headache," She sat up to clear her head. "What I miss?"
That question knight fiur struggling with knowing what he could've hide the image of her brother from her after having his prayer answered. So he turned half way toward her with a gloved hand reaching out toward her direction. She ended grasping one of his a scorched wrist band covered forearm in a hurried manner. When her finger tips brushed the edge of the metal of his arm our plate, and the first leather strap. Triggered a tingling sensation that ran up their arms and spread throughout their bodies.

"Return to the beginning." A whisper spoke to them.
"What just happen?" Reika was brought to her feet.
"Sailor Funna." Knight Fiur answered her.
"Thought she was dead." Reika recalled hearing that about her.
Trying to find the time to explain the phantom of your world's senshi is haunting you is hard to explain. Being that Knight Fiur was the only one showing signs of being visited by her. Not like Derek and Kousagi had a long enough visit to figure out she help in their awakening. Fact why she was present in the first place and not in hereafter with her lover. Since they're rude reminder came in the form of a confused the Waviren, facing a VERY conscious Saualpite. Holding a set of prey beads in on of his hands so tightly that he could be mistaken for trying to pray with them.
"You one the rare ones that had his heart broken," She was disgusted with him being still conscious. "Great..."
"I got have to add I think your tone death and off key," Saualpite shook his hand from side to side. "My mom and sister singing karaoke sounds a whole lot better."
"WHAT!?" She felt insulted.
Into his ears Saualpite placed his fingers when she started screeching about her voice. Out of all her sisters and one brother, she was the one both with the ability to subdue with her voice. Her mid- rant was interrupted when asked if she truly sing aloud and to a crowd? If she could step out on stage without using her telepathic talents to gain attention? All came from Mehr as he joined Saualpite's side with arm wrapping around other's waist.
"Brother! Tell me your not with that... Bipedal, air breather... they smell weird when wet... " Closed her eyes at seeing Mehr near Saualpite.
"He's the one that tended to me after you lashed out." Mehr tried to keep his angry in check.
Mehr was then calmed by Saualpite's hand on his chest as a reminder he didn't have to recall that day. Was all Mehr needed to know that he had won over Saualpite's heart, like he wanted. Acted as a perfect distraction for Reika to use her Star Power Stick in hand. Allowing her to take become Sailor Mars within the few minutes that Wavrein wasn't singing. Stepping up to stand by Knight Fiur with one of her gloves hands reaching toward him. Her fingers undoing the fastener of what kept his card holder closed.
"What are you doing?" Knight Fiur came to ask about her wandering fingers.
"Got any attack cards?" She asked looking among them.
"Strong Fist of the Sun and Exploding Arrogance." He crossed his arms.
Out she pulled Strong Fist of the Sun near the middle of the deck allowing her ESP to guide her hand. Which her blowing a kiss to Knight Fiur before she yelled out to their unwanted guest. Making sure to hold up the card she pulled when those angry filled eyes looked at her.
"Get lost or get burned alive." Sailor Mars warned her.
"I wouldn't pull anything," Knight Fiur warned the Wavrien. "That card is a seeker, despite you being a mermaid, it well seek you out and burn you alive."

Better way to celebrate Saualpite finding someone then a last minute party being hosted by your sister, and her friends. All put together at last minute by Uncle Chad upon his return. How he got everyone of Reika's new and childhood to pitch in was an amazing feat. Angel's and Mako's newly learned skills in crafting food was shown off in range of dishes. Mina pulled Hiddenite, Actinolite, and Ahenobarbus into decorating the living room. Tremolite had to come much later with Ammar, Funske, and Alecjo. Aegirine, Kaze, Kousagi, and Derek were being attending with Benjamin and Amelie watching them. Just the person(s) that was missing was Saualpite and Mehr when the whole set up was done.
Who was going to fetch them would have decided if wasn't for Aegirine running off saying he would fetch his daddy and new daddy. Benjamin ended up chasing after him as Kaze, Kousagi, and Derek decided who was crazy one among them. Throughout the Hino Household two of them would run until they came to the shut door of Mehr's room. Where Aegirine was scooped up by Benjamin before he could swing open the door and interrupt his dad and Mehr. Told he needed to go back and wait with everybody else while he got his dad and Mehr to attend the secret party. Back onto the floor those little feet would be placed and redirected toward where he ran off until he disappeared from view.
"He's our future," Benjamin turned to the door. "Then my life is going to be a hands on adventure."
Before Benjamin lifted a fisted hand to start knocking on the shut door and ready to call to who was on the other side. Sounds he knew well from times Alecjo's skilled hands and lips stirred up his erogenous zones during their make out sessions. Breathless peep or guttural grunt came in a series of bouts that were followed by a name being half way spoken.
"..." Benjamin backed away from the door.
Not like he return to the living room when he ended up walking backwards in a familiar pair of arms belonging to Alecjo. Who gently wrapped his arms around Benjamin's lower waist as he stated he was sent by everyone else to find out. What was taken Benjamin so long to get Saualpite and Mehr out of the spare room to join everyone in the living room. Got him a blushing Benjamin while told they were doing what the two of them with a emphasis on certain words. Made Alecjo congratulate Saualpite on getting the prudish pole pulled out by a handsome stranger that is Mehr.
"I say we get back to the others and inform them that those two will be late." Alecjo shrugged.
"I really wanted to start planning playdates with Saualpite." Benjamin was disappointed.
"I ever tell you, how you being all father is a turn on." Alecjo whispered.
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Alecjo before informing him that if they can get one of the teens to watch Kaze for the night. That he would have a chance to spend all night doing what he wanted with him without a single kid- related disruption. Was the motivation that Alecjo needed to get them back int the living room and network among the crowd. Leaving Benjamin to check in with Amelie since his son returned to other kids ans started speaking a sentence a minute. Distracting everyone from what was happening back room set up for Mehr's recovery between merman Saualpite. Sitting on the ledge of waiting pool large enough to hold a full grown male of merfolk race was where Mehr sat. In a state of complete undress with his bare thighs spread so wide to welcome a kneeling Saualpite. Who was exploring and found when surveying every exposed inch that he was allowed to touch. Drawing out strong and sensual sounds from Mehr that fueled what Saualpite was doing. To the point he ended up having Mehr explode within his lips as few drips escaped. Left Mehr to catch his breath as Saualpite swallowed in one gulp before falling back onto a cushion. Recovery gave them both a chance to separately clean them selves off while using a box of tissues.
"Are your alright?" Mehr looked down to Saualpite. "It has been some time since I've come..."
"I am fine," Saualpite breathed to clear his throat. "Shouldn't you be getting..."
Mehr didn't need to be reminded of needing to dress after being surprised by Saualpite and the reward he promised him. Off the ledge he would go over to a fainting couch a few feet a way where his clothes were neatly laid out. To only have Saualpite whistle at him as he pulled on each one his undergarments before starting with his actual clothes.
